Hi~ Felt like a good mom today and didn't binge when left alone with the kids + 1 extra child here for a play date!

Hi: Went to the grocery store and was able to walk down the pasta aisle without turning away from the mac and cheese! It's my biggest weakness, so to be able to look it straight in the eye and know I didn't want it was a HUGE thing for me. I also have lost 9 lbs since starting... YAY!
